The relationship between the decay constant (λ) and the half-life (t1⁄2) is given by the equation t(1/2) = 0.693/λ. Use the equa

tion for N to derive this relationship.
Hint: when t = t(1/2), N/No = 0.5 (1 point)

A container of hydrogen gas has a volume of 2.3m³. What is the mass of hydrogen contained? The density of hydrogen = 90kg/m³.
Solnce55 [7]
Mass= volume x density
Mass= 90kg/m^3 x 2.3m^3

Therefore, Mass= 207 kg
